Negative qualities: restriction, unrealistic expectations, trouble coping with the hard work needed to create positive habits. Major Arcana card: Emperor.
FOUR OF SWORDS: Knowing how to use rest and “quiet time” to improve overall health. Recognizing that sleep, meditation, and peaceful distraction are ways to integrate experiences and restore cognitive competence.
FOUR OF CUPS: Recognizing that stable relationships may become habitual, boring or taken for granted. Dissatisfaction with self or relationships arises. Reevaluate your approach to relationships, focusing on new and positive ways to interact with others.
FOUR OF WANDS: Steady energy leads to completion of a significant goal, one worked for and dreamed of for a long time. Knowing you are capable of completing something hard when it’s worth it, leading to a sense of personal security. You can count on yourself.
FOUR OF PENTACLES: Stability in finances, partnerships, health and work. The sense of security that comes from having an income that covers your basic needs, with a little more to spare. Making slow, permanent progress on the ladder of success.
